Update multiple bookmarks at once

Post by Rudi »

Hi,

I have about 50 bookmarks using the same domain (which has recently changed).
EG: www.domain-has-changed/sub/test1 is now www.thedomainhaschanged/sub/test1

The thedomainhaschanged does not have hyphens anymore and the word "the" is in front of it.

Is there away (or a tool or add-in) to update all 50 of my bookmarks to this new domain name instead of doing it one by one?

(I use Chrome if that is important to know...)

Many TX
Regards,
Rudi

Would an export, followed by a search-n-replace in a text editor followed by an import work?

It certainly would...BUT; I'd like to learn if there is an easier (more native) solution. :smile:

Can you not export your bookmarks, edit the html file, then import the edited file back in?

Yep Leif. That is perfectly possible (and something BobArch2 suggested above).
I was aware of the Import/Export option but thought I'd inquire if these is an easier (built into browser) method; which now seems unlikely!

Cheers All!!!
(Update: I have successfully edited my bookmarks using the export/import process.)
